Although Microsoft says it meets privacy laws, critics say its terms and conditions don't clearly warn users about this. The human listening takes place on some calls that use Skype's "automatic" real-time translation service. Until now, most users have assumed that the translation is done entirely by a combination of speech recognition and artificial intelligence to work out the context of a sentence and find the correct translations. While that's largely the case, a ...

It plans to use it to develop a way to spot patients at risk of developing serious kidney conditions. Although officials say personally identifying details will remain encrypted, the move has raised controversy with questions about the scope of the data involved. The records cover every patient who had dealings in the past five years with one of three specific hospitals in London overseen by the same NHS Trust. That's the local organizational body that delivers government-funded healthcare. ' ...

But it's arguably more embarrassing, as the details continue to emerge via third-party investigation. When stories broke about labor violations among staff working overseas on Apple products, the negative publicity was tempered by the fact that it was Apple's own program which uncovered the abuses. That's not the case with the Microsoft allegations, however. The claims come in a report by the National Labor Committee, an independent pressure group which aims to uncover and ...
